Unfortunately, no. I found this page some time in 2011 and added it to the
repository as it is a description of the ISI file format. A recently search was
not able to locate the page (wiki?) again.

Non of the files in the 'testset' directory will be installed using 'make
install' or alike (the directory does not get touched by the build system) and
as such will not end up in packages shipped by distribution. Furthermore, the
directory only contains plain text files, neither binaries of any kind nor
source code.

So, to sum up the current discussion: As the file was never installed or linked
to GPL'ed code, it was not illegal to have the file in the Git repository.
Though, to prevent accidental future license violations, the file may be
removed though a simple 'git rm'.
Unless there are good counter arguments, I'll implement this strategy in a few
days.
